282 SPARKS AND SPARKS

Although we certainly would underscore the importance of research on
media violence in the new millennium, we would not welcome a situa-

exhausted on this single type of media content. Even for aggressive
behavior, and certainly for other types of behavior, it would appear that
nonviolent media depictions may have direct implications.
